I’m glad you brought that up about Evangelical Christians belief that Israel must control all of Judea & Samaria so that the “Rapture” can occur. I only just learned that little tidbit about 6-8 months ago.

I’m glad you brought that up about Evangelical Christians belief that Israel must control all of Judea & Samaria so that the “Rapture” can occur. I only just learned that little tidbit about 6-8 months ago.
Do devout Catholics also hold that belief? If so, perhaps that, in addition to massive amounts of donations from AIPAC, colors his very favorable stance toward Israel.
I only recently heard Biden refer to himself as a Zionist & I was dismayed at that.
There have been some excellent comments on this article, I almost always learn something from reading them. I also wish the Israelis & Palestinians could just share the the entire area & share governance, but I realize that is likely a pipe dream.
It is so disheartening to think about all of the billions in aid that has been sent to Gaza over the years & knowing that probably a vast majority of it was spent building those 500 miles of concrete tunnels.
What kind of flourishing society could have been built with that money??
I have said that I am going to vote uncommitted in the *primary* to register my anger at Biden for not being tougher on Netanyahu, but will vote Biden in the general because we just cannot survive another Trump administration. The disaster of allowing more extremely conservative religious judges to get appointed to Federal lifetime positions is horrifying & will stymie any forward progress for decades.

We just can’t let that happen.
